    KVM and vzdump - Exclude from a backup some virtual disk

    Hello, we have succesfully developed a modification for doing exactly that, and we would like to contribute a patch. How can we proceed? Have you an SCM to base on for the patch, or you prefer patches against tarball sources in ftp://download.proxmox.com/sources/ , or something else? bye, rob

    Removal of KSM in 1.6 was a bad idea (my opinion)

    Probably you don't run any Windows machine. 2.6.32 and related KVM solved a lot of problems here. bye, rob

    Proxmox host name? How to change

    Forget tge following, i see that pvecert --force is doing just the same .... (If only i searched for it abiy more ;-) ) rob ------------ if you want you can regenerate the apache server certificate with the right hostname; see [1] for details (in Italian) Basically, it is an ad-hoc opennsl...

    Proxmox VE 1.5 + Win2k3 VMs = Strange behaviour -> massive slowdowns in machine

    More or less the same here, win2k3 with 1 socket, 2 cores "raw" (on file, not lvm) primary ide disk. Oracle on board. The symptoms are similar: cpu almost free, but unbearable slowness. The problem seems related to disk i/o, testing it with HDSpeed[1] shows maximum 2-5 Mbytes/sec, much...

    Configure VM to use different volumes

    Ok, but you should clarify how you gave that volume to proxmox for backup storage; I guess you used the "Add Directory" under storage list , set as "Directory:" the mount path of your volume, specified a "Storage name" and a "VzDump Backup" type of content. rob

    Increasing backup storage area

    I retried and finally saw: " INFO: mode failure - unable to dump into snapshot (use option --dumpdir) INFO: trying 'suspend' mode instead " I apologize, definitely I should had to read more carefully :-( Anyway maybe a "WARNING:" instead of an "INFO" could help to point out that two lines...

    Configure VM to use different volumes

    Can't mount somewhere the volume and use only one subdirectory for storage, and another one for vitual disks? rob

    Increasing backup storage area

    What about putting in the log of "vzdump --snapshot" something like: "Can't use snapshot mode when destination storage is on the same Logical Volume we are snapshotting from - passing to suspend mode." rob

    "Open VNC console" from Linux fails

    Done some test with DNAT; it works, but you have to forward port 5900 as well (the applet connects to that port)

    "Open VNC console" from Linux fails

    Yes, i guessed something like that; in any case, you have to be able to download the VncViewer jar file from https://<pvehost>:<pveport>/vncterm/VncViewer.jar But may be the NAT is confusing the JavaPlugin classloader, even if the former succeeds ... rob

    "Open VNC console" from Linux fails

    And try also from another non-64 bit client/browser (64bit java plugin is a recent addition to Linux JRE)

    "Open VNC console" from Linux fails

    My guess is that the Java Plugin is unable to load the VncViewer class ("load: class VncViewer.class not found" and the final " java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: VncViewer.class ") because of some Network problem (java.net.ConnectException: Network is unreachable) Try to raise the debug...

    Configure VM to use different volumes

    http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage_Model#LVM_Groups You can configure that volume as a LVM Phisical Volume, then create one ore more Volume Groups on it, and add them (type "LVM") to the storage list from the web interface. Then you can use that storage for your KVM virtual machines. I...

    Increasing backup storage area

    Why snapshotting isn't done when i configure the backup storage on LV "data" ? I don't see an evident technical reason; "root" and "data" are both LV on the same "pve" VG , and default "data" size is about three times "root" ... rob
